From the heart of our nation's capital, Washington, D.C., backed by the trusted voices of Team Fox, a clear, fresh voice cutting through the noise to tell the truth. It's Guy Benson with Guy Benson. Welcome to Guy Benson with Christine Dillon and Joelle. I'm Harry Hurley filling in today for Guy. Now, I don't think there's any question. Even they admit it, the Democrat side. There is a political civil war within the Democrat Party. You have a more moderate, and I use that term loosely because we used to think that the more moderate wing of today's Democrat Party was extremely hard left of center. However, when you compare them, I mean, look, did you ever think Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez would look so moderate calling out, oh, that was woke one? She's admitting that she said stupid stuff. They're trying to put all that crazy. In the rearview mirror, like it was only because of the pandemic and we just said weird stuff. I mean, confessions from the soul that you would never hear because they are literally in a fight for the soul of, if there is a soul left, of the Democrat Party. The socialist communist-communist wing is really pushing hard. I would also, and I haven't heard anyone else say this, but I would call it Bernie's revenge. Bernie Sanders got cheated. When he was running for president, they changed the rules because they knew he could not win. He would have won. You know, they did all these super delegate things and they changed all these rules to deny Bernie the nomination. So I think that they're coming back for revenge. They want to take the party and... It is a tremendous gift because, number one, America should have the debate, whether we want to be a representative republic or do we want to be some kind of socialist republic or communist form of government? It is a debate that we need to have. And don't get too lathered up about, you know, all the coverage of these Democrat socialist candidates who are being successful. There are a number of them that have not been successful. They're usually successful in the most hard left Democrat states. And again, We're not seeing them other than at the local level where a few hundred DSA candidates have won. You know, this is not new. The Democrat socialists have been on the march since about 2018. It just didn't get a lot of coverage and they weren't winning much at all. And so it was sort of just background noise that not a lot of people paid attention to. But I give them credit because they've been working hard.

And they're saying crazy stuff. I mean, think about this. We have never had a major party candidate in American history, 250 years, that is as crazy socialist hard left as Francesca Hong, who is likely, see, I don't trust these polls. Obviously, they were way off with the Abdul El-Sayed and Stevens race in Michigan. where I think Stevens really got cheated there because all the talk was 10.5 point lead for El-Sayed, 15-point lead. This was like on the night before the election. In other words, like there was no election. It was over. Hong, they're saying, is winning by 22 points in a Marquette survey and some other takes. have it her by a whole lot. Now, it's going to be interesting because you have the governor, the governor, Evers, that actually defeated Scott Walker to become now a two-term governor himself. Scott Walker was a two-term governor going for three terms. Evers cannot support hung. He just won't do it. So he actually got his guy back in the race, who was out of the race. He got him back in the race, David Crowley. But it does look like by tonight. And who knows, we may not have to wait up late for it, that. Francesca Hong could very well be the standard bearer of the Democrat Party for governor of Wisconsin, which really is still. It's tipping left, but it is still a swing state, a good Republican, like a Scott Walker, who barely lost his race to Evers. It's like 20-some thousand votes out of 2.6 million. Very, very close. I mean, you're talking about it's like losing by one vote. losing by 26,000. But take a listen because you can see, Hong is trying to pivot past all the crazy talk, kind of explaining it away like just a bad day. Joel, cut one. A lot of folks that I meet are single moms like me, restaurant owners who are going through COVID. I was actually trying to become a sports journalist when I first went to college. So I learned then you have some hot takes, sometimes bad takes on Twitter. And I let my feelings out into the world. I'm a chef. I'm a restaurant owner. I'm a sports journalist want to be. It's just a hot take. It's a hot mic. It's just a bad take. I love Thanksgiving. I don't hate it. What did I mean when I said it should have ended in 1621? I love it. It's now my favorite holiday of the year. I've cooked many Thanksgiving meals. I'm not going to cancel it. So there is the rewrite. But the great Maya Angelou said it.

When someone tells you who they are, believe them. What we know to date before all of this walking back, in my estimation, is the Francesca Hong that you will get after election day. In a state where it's not a slam dunk for a Democrat, they don't show you who they are. You know it. But you have to wait to see it until after they get in. So there are six primary elections today. Three, I would say, are key. For all the reasons, all of this crazy talk and stuff, and she's been a very unusual candidate. Francesca Hong has gotten a lot of the oxygen during this particular cycle of Democrat primary elections. However. There is Minnesota. And let's take a peek at that for a quick moment on Guy Benson. Because neighboring Minnesota, you have a choice between who is considered a moderate United States Congresswoman Angie Craig and the progressive lieutenant governor Peggy Flanagan in the Democrat U.S. Senate primary. So that is going to be interesting. And Minnesota is pretty wacky. I know a number of years ago, Jesse the body, Ventura, and nobody gave him a chance. As an independent, he won and served a term as governor. But it, I mean, you look, look at Tim Walz, look at these things that his lieutenant governor, this Flanagan has said. I mean, wild, wild stuff. As wild as stuff that Hong has said just about. So I'm thinking that Hong wins over Crowley, which is really good for the Republican, who is a very, very good candidate. I see Tiffany doing very, very well against Hong. It just, he's got a really good chance. But don't think. She's out of it. She is not out of it, even though all these things we know. She is definitely not out of it, which is kind of crazy when you think about it. But I like Tom Tiffany's chances. I wish it was Scott Walker. Oh my goodness. Would that be something? So I think Hong wins and probably not close. By the way, if that does go close like the Abdul El-Sayed and Stevens, then really just discount during this primary election season in particular all of these polls that you hear about. Because he was not up 10 and a half. He was not up 15. He won by less than 1. Is she up by 22? Or is this going to be closer than we know? I think she is going to win, which is kind of shocking with how much coverage she has gotten and so much of it very unflattering, even with typically pro-democrat-type legacy media people. So I'm going hung, and tomorrow we'll reconvene and see how we did. I'm going hung in Wisconsin for governor, which is going to be wild.

I'm going Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan for U.S. Senate Democrat nominee in Minnesota, as Jesse would say, Jesse Ventura, Minnesota. And then on the race for governor, no drama. Amy Klobuchar, who I'm not a fan, but I'm not a hater either. She's put a lot of time in. She's a household name. Very, very. Well known in Minnesota in Minnesota politics. Unbelievable favorite. No contest there. She will win big. But what is a contest is an ever-tightening race between Mike Lindell. Yes, that Mike Lindell and Lisa Demuth. So I don't know. I'm not going to call that one. It was Lindell and maybe now he might get nipped at the finish line. And again, this Angie Craig and Flanagan, the people on the ground in the know, they say that that is a neck and neck situation. So who will the, in the Senate race, who will the Democrat face, whether it's Angie Craig or whether it's Peggy Flanagan? They will face a very familiar person, Michelle Tofoya, who is. running away with the Republican nomination, which brings us to South Carolina, which to me is very, very interesting because you have the tragic sudden passing of a warrior, an icon who's now his name is at a military installation, which is very, very cool. And that is Lindsey Graham. The two days later, the appointment of his sister, Darlene Graham, to be the appointed senator. So at that point in time, all we knew was she would serve out until early January. Would she run for the seat? That took a little while to flesh out. President Trump enthusiastically endorsed her. and asked her to run and is big time, including a joint event that they did last night on the eve of the election. But here's the challenge. There's 10 Republicans, and you're in a format where you have to get 50% plus one vote. Nobody's going to get that tonight. You can go. You can. Close your eyes early and make sure you get your beauty z's. There will be no winner tonight. But the first two is everything because they go on to an August 25th, two weeks from today, head-to-head runoff election, and the winner of that. will be the Republican nominee and the winner of that. This is the general election. No disrespect to the Democrat. Nobody even knows who she is. She has no chance. It's over with whoever wins. And I think it is going to be the runoff in two weeks. And I believe I feel very, very confident that Darlene Graham will finish first.

She has President Trump's support. She's the sister of the fallen senator who just won the nomination and would have had another six-year term had he not been cut down short so suddenly. But the second spot. That's why this is the one that fascinates me more than all of them. If you want a freak show, it's some of that other stuff. If you want something normal, although I have to say this has not been beanbag, this has been tough stuff. They did not give Darlene Graham a pass on the ground in South Carolina. She described it as brutal. It's been a brutal few weeks. So I see her as the winner. I think she will be somewhere around 30 to 35 percent of the vote, nowhere near 50. I hope I'm wrong on that. I would love to see her win it tonight. But you know what? There are a lot of South Carolinians who like Russell Fry. President Trump was one of them. That's tough on President Trump because that's somebody he's endorsed in the past. And, but under these circumstances, I mean, it just, it just feels like the right thing to do. Not charity, but just the right thing to do. Then there's Ralph Norman. He is going to get a lot of votes. And then there's Mark Sanford, the former governor, very popular, former congressman as well, very well known. So I can't really decide between Russell Fry or Ralph Norman. It's going to be one or the other in second. The other will get third. Darlene Graham finishes first. Mark Sanford finishes fourth. The businessman Lynch finishes fifth. And then there's five more that will get a little bit of the vote. But with 10 people running, nobody will get 50% of the vote. We'll be right back. This is Guy Benson.

Joel's bringing it. I like it. This is Guy Benson with Christine, Dylan, and Joel. I'm Harry Hurley, going in today for Guy. Anthony Fauci, we must talk about him in this segment because what has happened and it is a treasure trove that I think is just going to be extraordinary what we're going to learn. Senators Rand Paul and Ron Johnson. They obtained Dr. Anthony Fauci's government iPhone. They have 34,000 text messages. I'm going to read two of them. They have also 522 voicemails. The topic that I want to focus on is this. At the very minimum. Dr. Anthony Fauci gave a mixed message on the COVID-19 vaccine and women who were pregnant and in the first trimester in terms of potential miscarriage risk. So he's having a conversation and a text message conversation with Rochelle Willinsky. This is January 25, 2021. Dr. Anthony Fauci writes, agree with Rochelle. There are no data or theoretical reason to believe that vaccinating early versus later in pregnancy would be preferred. Yet some people, even female health care professionals, feel concerned about injecting a genetic vaccine very early in pregnancy. There is this misperception out there that we need to deal with the MRNA somehow. Get it into your genes when the misperception gets extended to an early developing fetus. The anxiety heightens. But then he says this. Same day. Same conversation. I asked around a bit more. And another issue came up that you need to be aware of since many people have significant cytokine, storm, and fever after the second dose. This theoretically could associate with miscarriage in the first trimester. Dr. Anthony Fauci, which is it? This is Guy Benson. Paul Morrow is next.

And standing by on Guy Benson, Newsmaker Hotline, a great friend. To and of Guy Benson, Paul Morrow, Fox News contributor, attorney and retired New York Police Department Inspector. And Paul has done a great job all day on the Fox News channel at the Luigi Mangione court appearance. Paul, welcome. Thanks for having me, Harry. It is a pleasure. You've had a busy day and you've done a great job, you and James, with what's going on there. Give us the latest. Thank you. So the judge, as expected, said that there will be an overflow room to accommodate more media and more members of the public. that the second room had to be secured with some difficulty because of space limitations, staffing, etc. He sounded quite angry. I think he was mad that it made the news in a way that implied that somehow rather the district attorney's office was in on it with the judge trying to keep the public from seeing the proceedings. There might even be a second overflow room. The judge did not even address the idea of televising. the trial because that is illegal by a statute here in New York's literally illegal. It's against the civil rights law that they passed, so we won't be seeing it on camera. And then the judge said that there will be an anonymous jury, which in New York is not a sequestered jury, just to be clear, it means that the jurors' names likely won't be revealed not only the public, but even perhaps to the opposing counsel, they'll be identified by number. But they'll be given some biographical information about each juror because that's necessary as part of the jury selection process. So that's the tension in there. How anonymous will they be to each side of the proceedings? And there's some case law on it that comes out of mafia cases. But that's essentially to come up and of it. Manjean was in court. This is probably his last time before the case goes to trial. which is, as of now, jury selection starts next month on 8 September, and I think that the federal case likely is going to be adjourned for a while until the state case proceeds. Paul, I've seen your coverage, and one thing, even though I've heard you say here and also earlier on the Fox News Channel, loud and clear, that...

You can't have the cameras in New York. But I still want to give you a chance to address the issue because if you compare the fact that allegedly the defense wants cameras here in New York City, but at the Charlie Kirk trial, the defense does not want cameras. Is that just a show thing because they want them because they can't have them? Any other place you can't have them so they don't want them? What's the analysis of that? Well, I'd like to take the high road here and say that the defense here wants the cameras because of what they're saying, which is transparency. Public is right to see it. A very high-profile case, serious issues in play. But I think that the more cynical read is that they know that there is some pressure here on the prosecution and even the judge because this case has become something of an avatar, something of a stand-in for some of the issues blowing through the case, not only insurance, but I would go so far as to say even shading a little bit into the sort of DSA. issues of a generation that feels as if, whether it's justified or not, they like the claim that they've been sold out, that capitalism has sold them short. The irony, of course, is that Manjeon comes from a very rich family and the world at his feet and chose to do what he did for some twisted ideological purpose. But you're exactly right, Harry. And in the Robinson case, they want it very much the other way. And of course, it is the family. of Charlie Kirk that is pushing for full coverage out there because they want the proceedings to be seen and they want Tyler Robinson to be revealed for what the prosecution there alleges he did and alleges who he is. Now, you're a lawyer, so you can really, you have a wide spectrum of observation on this. This would seem to me, back to Mangione, that you would have to on the prosecution side, be concerned about a juror getting onto the jury. If you love the movie, runaway jury, I do. You get somebody on there that. wants to nullify. I mean, there's so much evidence. But if you've got an agenda, and I'm in total agreement with you, and I'm going to bring up a DSA item after this, I think that it reeks of this. And if somebody gets on that jury that has no intentions. of convicting Mangione if the evidence presented warrants him being convicted. It sure seems like it will. I don't want to prejudge, but it sure seems like it will. So what are your thoughts about that? Somebody getting on there and spoiling the verdict.

Yeah, unquestionably. You got two problems here if you're sitting where the prosecution is because you certainly got a lot of evidence, right? You get the video of the shooting, the gun recovered at the scene as DNA's on the gun. The gun matches to the rounds that were found at the scene. You know, we can go on here. It really does look bad for him. He dropped a phone. His DNA is on that phone. We don't know what they have digitally. It really, really seems to be pretty open and shut. What you have to worry about is, of course, somebody that lies. And that's why the jury selection process is going to be such a battle. The concern here is that you're going to have jury notification. Somebody who lies to get onto the jury, yeah, I can be impartial, no, I have no preconceived notions. And in fact, that they do. And they get there and they hang the jury. I don't think you're going to be able to get acquittal out of it. You'd have to get old 12 people who ignore the evidence, at least as far as we know now. But what evidence is out there. But you'd have to get, you know, you could get one or two who lie, get on there and say, I don't care what you say. I had a bad experience with insurance or I agree with this DSA stuff. And so I'm going to vote to quit and hang the jury. And that's what you got to worry about in this, you know, era. And so consequently, the voir dire, the jury selection, is going to be a war because the prosecution really wants to avoid that, of course, and they're going to do everything they can to dig into these backgrounds. And... That's, I think, one of the reasons why you're going to have a long and arduous jury selection process. I think it's also one of the reasons why the prosecution probably did not want an anonymous jury because they want to know as much as they can about these jurors, get into that background, look at their social media. But the judges made that call, which does happen in high-profile cases. So you're right. I think that is the risk here, and that's one of the things that they're certainly concerned about. Paul, and those just tuning in, it's Paul Morrow, Fox News contributor on Guy Benson. Is there a set number of preemptory challenges that they have? Because I couldn't agree with you more, Paul. This is so important because somebody could slip on there if they don't manage their preemptory challenges. Is there a set number that they have? There is. So both sides in an A felony, it's pinned in New York, the level of crime. And in an A felony like this, murder two is 20 for each side. So that is to say, each side gets to 20 times without having to explain why, say, we don't want juror number 46. We don't want juror number 32. And so that person's out. They use the vernacular as dinging, right? We're going to ding 32, 61, 47. And then you can, after that, have challenges for cause. Now, you can't use race. You can't use any of the protected class stuff, but you can use reasons that are explicable that on their face have a conflict. Your Honor, this person works for an insurance company, that kind of a thing. And those are for cause. The other problem here for the prosecution is a little subtler.

But there's been a lot made of the fact that the defense, and you can hear this here and probably no place else, the defense made a motion. to have the, and was essentially announcing that they were going to go with an affirmative defense, that is to say the extreme emotional disturbance defense. And why is that an affirmative defense? An affirmative defense is a fancy way of saying, but I did it, but that's what people should hear when they hear affirmative defense. So they were going with the extreme emotional disturbance defense. They were going to say, yeah, I did do it. You know, the evidence demonstrates I did. Yeah, I cop to it. I did it because I was extremely emotionally disturbed. So what is that doing? If you do that and you're successful and the burden of proof shifts to you, if you do that... You then get knocked down a charge. And so he would have gone from murder two to man one, manslaughter one, which carries a much lighter sentence. They filed that paperwork. The next day, Harry, they pulled it back. Why? The judge said, okay, then you're going to have to turn over all the psychology reports, all the psychological reports, because he'd been examined. And the supposition around the courthouse, I don't know this, but this is likely would happen. Two things. Mangione must have said, I don't want that out there. I don't want my psychological reports out there. He must have found them embarrassing for some reason, whatever it was. And they said, no, either way, they pulled it back. Now, there are problems with that defense because understand what he just did. You would be saying, yeah, I did it. And that means that when you get to the federal trial, you can't deny that you did it because you're on record saying you did it. For whatever reason, they filed that and they pulled it back. And that's been well publicized, and that's all the buzz in the courthouse. Here's the subtlety. They could still, that is the defense, try to subtly get in there the idea that this is all the fault of the insurance companies. Now, a good judge won't let that happen and a prosecutor will raise, holy hell. Yeah, you filed this and you pulled it back. You can't do it now. But they can still try to get it in there and then right before the jury goes out. Ask the judge for that direction. That is to say, the defense can say to the judge right as the jury goes out. Your Honor, we would like the jury direction when you charge the jury here that they can find manslaughter too. And they could do it. And that's not appealable by the prosecution. So everybody that I've talked to down there who really knows that courthouse. I was in and out of that courthouse for years. I did cases there, et cetera. They all seem to feel like that's the last Hail Mary here that the defense has. It's almost a form of jury nullification. So Judge Caro has to very closely watch.

But the defense doesn't try to do sort of a shadow play here of emotional disturbance. So, Harry, when you hear the case, and you're going to hear it, the case is going to trial, I don't think it's going to be a plea. And you hear insurance company, insurance company, insurance company, remember this conversation because that's what they're trying to do. Wow. Paul Morrow, and when you said about we're not going to get this anywhere else, I want to echo that. You just can't get that anywhere else because you have someone that's accomplished on television and radio who is a retired New York police department inspector and, oh, by the way, an attorney as well. So it's like the quadruple threat, not even the triple threat. Paul, you've got to take a listen because you brought up Democrats, Socialists of America. I'm teeing this up. I want to say you're going to love it. That would be sarcastic. You're not going to like it. Media credit to NBC4. It's Francis Gill, Democratic Socialist of America National Political Committee member. Joel, that's cut five. Right, but it says defund police on the website. That's your goal. And also to get rid of prisons and jails, correct? Yes. So if my daughter is assaulted and raped, is there any agency that would seek to find her assailant and bring him to justice? Of course, yeah, of course. What would it be if not police and where would he be if not a jail? So I guess I really want to avoid getting kind of caught into these hypotheticals and talk more about the reality that we're actually facing right now, which is that we're spending absolutely outrageous amounts of money on police and policing, and we're not spending money on things that actually make people safe and feel safe, which is things like actually well-lit streets, the streetlights in Los Angeles. Everybody agrees it's a huge problem. So thank you, Conan Nolan, for asking the right questions. Francis Gill. There it is, Paul. Your thoughts? She's a moron. Sometimes you just got to say it, Harry, you know. I mean, what can you say? No police and no jails. Well, then what happens if somebody's raped? Well, I want to talk about the fact that we need better lighting in L.A. You know, it's ironic. I was out in New Mexico covering the Nancy Guthrie abduction, and the reverse is coming from the far left there. They are the thing out there called light pollution. Their argument is that there's too much lighting and it ruins people's view of the sky. Consequently, there are not a lot of cameras that can pick up a license plate out there, and it's one of the reasons they didn't pick up the car that likely abducted her. So, you know, it's just an aside, but it just shows you how contradictory really is just, look at me, look at me, it's performative, we're oppressed, and the irony is any cop will tell you this, Harry.

time, anywhere, I don't care what the neighborhood is, black, white, green, or red. Most of the people, the vast, vast majority of people in these neighborhoods are good people. And every cop has that story. They go into the projects. They're going to apartment 6B for whatever reason. They're knock on the door. It's an elderly woman. She has a noise complaint, but you don't hear any noise. And you talk to her for a sex. She thanks you for coming. And as you're leaving, just before she shuts the door, she points at the apartment across the hall. And she said, They're selling guns in that apartment and shuts the door real quick. The point being, they want not only police, they want more police. And who this kind of thinking is going to hurt are the good people in high crime neighborhoods who are trying to raise their kids and do their best? You get rid of police, you get rid of prisons. Where do you think these guys are going to go? Water seeks its own level, as the old saying goes, they're going to go wherever the soft underbelly is. And that's going to go into the neighborhoods where there is high crime, where we don't have enough police, all the studies showed at. But you know what? When you're the DSA, the majority of which are a bunch of white, liberal, wealthy kids, all of whom are from East Cupcake. If you just look at the demographics of who puts in, the Zohran Mamdani's and the Katie Wilson's and all these other characters that we're voting in these days, that's who gets them in and they never feel the brunt of these policies themselves. It's other people's problems. Paul Morrow, great to present you. Have a good day. Thank you, Harry. Appreciate you, buddy. Appreciate you back. What a great appearance. And Francis Gill said that I rather not answer hypotheticals. It's not a hypothetical. It's a certainty that these things will happen. We'll be back. This is Guy Benson. It's Harry Hurley.

Welcome back to Guy Benson with Christine Dillon and Joelle. I'm Harry Hurley filling in today for Guy Benson. Now, be careful they say what you wish for. Be careful what you ask for because I don't think they realize still. You would think they would that Iran would know that this is not... what they're used to. They're used to dealing with Barack Obama, Joe Biden, people like that that send them billions of dollars that they use to sponsor terrorism. This is a very different president, President Trump. So when you make a statement and Iran did that they want reparations, in other words, we should pay them back for everything. I guess they want their whole military back and it's at the bottom of the ocean and they want their Navy back. You know, they want it all back. And so they're asking for reparations. President Trump responded on his social media platform, Truth Social. quote, I see that representatives of the Islamic Republic of Iran are asking for compensation for the damage done to them during the last five-month military conflict. And he added on there that the war began because Iran would not be permitted to obtain a nuclear weapon and whether you like. That or not, the rationale, President Trump has been very consistent about what this is and what it isn't. He's never really brought up regime change, which a lot of people talk about as their own side issue. President Trump said, hey, we wanted every... negotiation that we do, that Iran compensate the families of all people that they have killed or gravely wounded by its roadside bombs and the many attacks that they have done over the last 50 years. So check that out. Check, checkmate. This is Guy Benson.

This Memorial Day, as America approaches the 25th anniversary of 9-11, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation paid off the mortgages on 26 homes for Gold Star families and families of fallen first responders across 13 states. In tribute to the 343 FDNY firefighters lost on 9-11, Tunnel to Towers has committed to delivering 343 mortgage-free homes this year. Their courage will never be forgotten. Join us.

You're listening to Guy Benson. And now here's your host, Guy Benson. Welcome to Guy Benson with Christine, Dylan and Joel. I'm Harry Hurley doing it today for Guy Benson on a very special primary election day edition of Guy Benson because not only are there six primaries around the country, there are three key primaries and the one that's been getting the most attention, even though I think actually the South Carolina race is more normal. And of course, by definition, that doesn't make it interesting, right? If something is normal, although it has been rough. It has not been easy. And if you think that anybody was going to take it easy on Lindsey Graham's baby sister, guess again? She's been put through. And, you know, if you want a six-year term in the United States Senate. You've got to walk the gauntlet, and they weren't going to hand it to her. So she's going to earn it. I personally would love to talk about the dynamics of that race. Normal people, former governor, former congressman, two current congressmen, a current appointed senator. I mean, it has so many normal things about it. But the one that has everyone's attention. Because it is, let's be honest, I'm not being unkind, it is a freak show. This leading Democrat candidate who very well by fairly early tonight, for example, I don't think this is going to go past midnight, this could be one of those ones where it's not even too close to call when the polls close. And again, the polls are not to be trusted. Francesca Hong has had a lot of bad publicity, even in friendly circles. She has asked time and time again about, you know, you said that Thanksgiving should be canceled and should have been canceled in 1621. And just look, Shazam. Now she makes, she cooks it all the time and cooked it so many times and she's not going to cancel it. And it's what's your favorite holiday? Thanksgiving. And then the host said, well, there you have it. I mean, it was laughable. Oh, oh, that ends it? Just like that. You can have such a radical position. And just like that, it's over, right? Let's take a listen.

to Francesca Hong in her own words. Joelle, cut three. I wasn't always aware of the struggles of other communities of color because for me, assimilation always kind of took over. And so I did marry. And proximity to whiteness continues, right? My son is biracial. He's half white and half Korean. And I think navigating what his identity is and how people perceive him is always at the back of my mind as well. Just everything is just different than you would expect. I consider that a beautiful circumstance, her biracial son. She considers it some significant difficulty, so hard to deal with, so many problems associated with it. I think that is completely wrong-headed thinking. Tom Tiffany is no joke. Tom Tiffany will be the Republican nominee. Francesca Hong will likely be the Democrat nominee. Some have it already over. The Marquette survey says 22-point lead, but don't forget. Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan was allegedly winning by 10.5 points in one survey and 15 points in another. And he barely squeaked out a 1% win. Stevens got robbed because you can only imagine everything that dried up. people that maybe would have gone out to vote that said oh come on it's over i'm not going you're losing by a mile if it was close so really uh she got hurt bad with that and let's see how the polling holds up in wisconsin i have no faith in any of it these days but this Tom Tiffany is the real deal and let's take a listen to him joel cut four I don't think this reflects all Democrats across Wisconsin, but certainly amongst the leadership they have capitulated to the big government socialism that she's selling. Yeah, without a doubt. And that is popular in the primary phase of things. So the problem is the positions you have to take in order to get the nomination. You are then stuck with. We're going to talk about him coming up after the break, and that is James Talarico in Texas. This guy's all over the place. He was vegan, six genders. What else? Now he's eating ribs and loves meat, loves steak, just flipping his script on all these things. The problem is,

People are smarter than certain politicians give them credit for. If we hear you tell us that you don't like Christmas where you're at a restaurant, and this was also hung at a restaurant, she's at really uncomfortable because there were just too many old white people. I mean, who talks like that? It's crazy talk. But then she dismisses it. And it's really, I think, just a failed attempt at explaining, oh yeah, I said a whole lot of stupid stuff in the past. And here's why, Joelle Cup won. A lot of folks that I meet are single moms like me, restaurant owners who are going through COVID. I was actually trying to become a sports journalist when I first went to college. So I learned then you have some hot takes, sometimes bad takes on Twitter. And I let my feelings out into the world. So when I wasn't running and I had no reason to lie and I had no reason to be politically strategic, all the things I said. We're just mistakes. That's not really me. This is the real authentic me. We'll continue our coverage after this. This is Guy Benson. We'll be right back. America is listening to Guy Benson.

Welcome back to Guy Benson with Christine Dylan and Joel. I'm Harry Furley. Going in today for Guy on Guy Benson Newsmaker Hotline is Scott Walker, the former successful two-term governor of the great state of Wisconsin. It is Election Day, primary election day in Wisconsin. And Governor Walker is also the president of Young America's Foundation. Governor, welcome. Hey, great to be with you. Thanks for having me on. Good to talk to you. Good to talk to you. You wrote on your social media crossing over to vote for Francesca Hong is a big risk because she would be very all caps, very dangerous if she was governor. I teed it up. Take it away. Yeah. This is not just common sense versus crazy. This is common sense versus dangerously crazy. This is someone who not once, not as a kid, but as an elected official. repeatedly called for abolishing the police, getting rid of prisons or violent criminals, getting rid of the system of taking violent criminals out of the country that are here illegally. This is someone who would be dangerous as governor, and I think she's going to win today, unfortunately, in the primary, but I don't want her anywhere close to even have any outs. outside chance of winning this governor's race. Because if she wins today, it will still be a close election because Wisconsin's the closest swing state in America. So on point. And you won twice and you barely lost. You couldn't almost lose closer than you lost to the current governor, Tony Evers. He can't endorse her. She's that bad. Yeah, he actually said she can't win. And I think it just shows how out of touch. But they, too little too late, they've completely messed this up. They got behind David Crowley, the current Milwaukee County executive, someone who has his own problems, although he's not dangerously crazy. He just would dramatically jack up your taxes, isn't competent, and comes from Milwaukee where there are all sorts of problems. But that said, you look at these Democratic socialists. We've been warning about this for years on college campuses. You know, they make all these wild promises in an era where people aren't learning anything about American and world history. Look at Venezuela. It's not just Cuba in the past or the old Soviet Union. Today, as we speak, one of the once most prosperous nations in the world, Venezuela is an absolute wreck in the economy so much so. It's one of the largest refugee crises in the world because democratic socialism ruined the country. We can't let that happen in Wisconsin or anywhere else in America. That's an example I use all the time. Venezuela went from third or fourth, most prosperous in the hemisphere, to in the dark and eating the zoo. It's no joke. That's socialism. And it's 100% track record of failure. The pressure is going to be on. I'm with you. She's going to win. It's a perfect storm. This whole socialist craziness taking over the Democrat Party is part of it. The lieutenant governor had to get out. The former lieutenant governor had to get out. David Crowley was in, then he's out. Evers Essen, get back in. So he's in. So she's almost winning this by default. But the pressure now is on Tom Tiffany. Tell us a little bit about him. Is he up for this? Is he going to do it? Is he going to win?

Yeah, it's nice they've been running. I'm a bloid today. I was talking to some folks here. Having the distinction of not having a primary while these parade of, you know, cast of crazier than the other folks on the other side have been beating each other up, really has allowed him to focus on a general election campaign, raising the resources, being organized, and most importantly, having the right message message message map or money. And he's been talking about... cost of living. That's a big deal for everybody. It's particularly big deal for young people. He's talking about the cost of buying a home, talking about driving property taxes down, talking about reforming the schools. He's got the right message right now, and he's highly, highly organized. In the end, though, again, it's the closest blue state in America. I won two elections and a recall election. When I won with 52, almost 53% of the vote, that was considered a blow in most elections. It's about one point or less difference. And I think there's, sadly, in the suburbs of Milwaukee, there's just enough TDS that we can't take this race for granted, even if a Democratic socialist wins the primary. That is amazing to hear. It is former Wisconsin governor, Scott Walker, visiting on Guy Benson. Hong wins tonight. Tiffany wins tonight. I don't think there's any doubt about both of them. Do you hold any hope that, much like El-Sayed in Michigan was not winning by 10 and a half points, not winning by 15 points in another poll, and that he barely won that... She has gotten a lot of bad publicity, even from friendly Democrat legacy media people hitting her on that she said Thanksgiving, should have been, you know, ended in 1621. Now, of course, it is her favorite holiday. Governor Walker, you know that, right? It's now her favorite holiday. Yeah. I actually think it will a little bit, even more so in the general, because part of her appeal was that she was authentic, even though authentically wrong, radical ideas, but they were her ideas. They were ideas she was passionate about. With her going from, I want to cancel Thanksgiving to... I cook on Thanksgiving, but some people aren't easy with it. Now it's my favorite. Next week, she's wearing a Thanksgiving outfit, the campaigned in. I think people just say, wait a minute, this is somebody who seems like they're going to say anything to get elected. I don't know that as much as I just think she's been, you know, being a liberal in a liberal city, she's never had to deal with any tough questions. She's starting to fall apart. But, like I said, it's going to be a close election, a close state. I think for swing voters, though, more than the base being uneasy, I think in the end, the 10% you need to win among swing voters in a state like Wisconsin is tone. They didn't like Donald Trump's tone in 2020 more so than his policies. Similarly, I think with her, I'd put up advice the Tiffany campaign one after, ad after another, showing her with the F bomb on this, F bomb on that, versus Tom Tiffany, who's kind of...

Easygoing, steady Eddie. I think that's a huge advantage for him come to general election with voters who can go either way. We're visiting with former Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker on Guy Benson, the former two-term governor, almost three-term governor. President Reagan said about 45, 46 years ago that were one generation. away from losing our country if we elect the wrong people, if we make the wrong decisions. Did you ever imagine, Governor Walker, in your lifetime, that these crazy socialist, communists, basically, like Abdul El-Sayed, I don't care if he says he's a capitalist. Look at what he says. Your Democrat nominee in your great home state, Hong, did you ever imagine that these candidates could be major party nominees? Well, I certainly hoped years ago they wouldn't be, but again, the work I do now at Young America's Foundation, we sadly tragically see these, and we've been warning of this of years of liberal indoctrination where not only do they push this really radical mindset, but they teach people in our colleges and universities to hate America, to hate our founding principles. The opposite to me, though, goes, thanks. It's for young people in particular, it's not because they've made a binary choice and they chose poorly. It's because they don't know. They don't know the facts. They don't know what's at stake. And we've got to tell that to them, not only in this election cycle, but particularly going forward, we've got to tell them the truth about America. You know, when Ronald Reagan first ran, it's hard to remember this, but there was some people at the time who thought Soviet-south communism might be better than Americans stout free enterprise. Ronald Reagan took us in the right direction, got us in the right track, along with the hard work of the American people. I think we can do it again, but we can't just assume it's going to happen or that people know we've got to tell them the truth. Two-minute drill with Governor Scott Walker, because I think people would like to know this, and I did ask you this question a few years ago on this program, is there an office that could bring you out of electoral retirement that you would consider running for? Well, I'm a quarter century younger than Joe Biden, so I got some time. You do. But my hope is in four years, I'm helping Tom Tiffany get reelected. But God help us, if we had someone like Hong, that alone, if this didn't work out, might be enough. But like I said, I'm an optimist. I'm hopeful the people, Wisconsin, just like people of America, see through the facade and all the problems with Democratic Socialist agenda and put the right people in office. Final minute, Governor Walker, if we're right, and I think we are going to be right, Hong will be the Democrat nominee tonight. I don't think it's going to be a late night even, and Tom Tiffany will be the Republican nominee. I'm going to throw up in my mouth a little bit if you answer this, how I think you're going to answer it. Is Hong the favorite as of tomorrow at this point in time? I think it's 50-50. Normally that would be the case that she would be the favorite outright just because since 1990, every race but one for governor's gone opposite of the White House. I think because of her radical views and her crazy comments, it makes it competitive. And so we're going to have to work hard for every vote. But I think it's 50-50. 30 seconds, Young America's Foundation. What's new?

YF.org, we're talking about freedom at 250, and our whole theme next year is why democratic socialism doesn't work. Yaf.org, if you're under attack, we got your back. I know you're doing it. We have to teach everyone that socialism has a 100% failure track record throughout the entire recorded history. No exception, completely, not undefeated, but totally defeated every single time. Governor Walker, great to be with you. You too. Take care. We're going to be right back. There is much more because this is Guy Benson. Coming up next, Dr. Mark Siegel, we'll be back in just a few minutes. Don't go away. Guy Benson, sponsored by Previgin. Previgin, made for your brain. Welcome back to Guy Benson with Christine Dylan and Joel, Harry Hurley filling in today for Guy Benson on Guy Benson Newsmaker hotline, Fox News, senior medical correspondent, Dr. Mark Siegel, the author of The Miracles Among Us, How God's Grace, plays a role in healing, his handle on Twitter at... Dr. Mark with a C, Dr. Mark Siegel. Dr. Siegel, welcome. Hi, Harry. Good to be on with you, as always. Thank you, Your Honor. Great to be with you. And I'm going to go right to Senator Johnson and his committee that, as you know, they have obtained a copy of Dr. Anthony Fauci's cell phone. You can only imagine we're hearing little drips and drabs, but we know there's 34,000 text messages and among them are ones. where just like some of the other things that we've seen in his diaries that he also put on a public server, he says one thing here and another thing publicly. What are your thoughts about what you've learned, Dr. Siegel, relative to women, especially in the first trimester and the COVID-19 vaccine? Well, first of all, I may surprise you in my opinion on this. I think the biggest thing I'm seeing, and I am not seeing all the texts or reading all of them, but it's a pattern of dogma and rigidity where I have my idea. You know, Tony has his idea, and then he sticks to it and looks for evidence to corroborate it and maybe doesn't change. And that's not ideal for public health. But, of course, his training is in immunology and vaccinology and infectious diseases, not epidemiology, not public health, but he was in a position of making public health advisements. As far as pregnant women are concerned, I'm going to surprise you and tell you, I think this vaccine has gotten too much of a hit. The vaccine itself was developed by Operation Warp Speed in nine months, record time, but it was based on technology from the 80s. It saved millions of lives. Pregnant women are immunocompromised by definition. And if they got the COVID shot, especially at the heart of the pandemic, they were doing a lot to protect themselves and their babies. There wasn't enough evolution in the thinking to say, okay, well, wait a minute. Now it's not preventing spread. Now we should target the issue of severity who's at risk. We should also continue to study it. When that big study came out and...

show possible association with abort with early miscarriage. That needed to be taken really seriously, not look for reasons to say it isn't done properly or slept aside. Later studies, Harry, seem to show that it is totally safe during pregnancy, which is why I'm saying that this vaccine. You know, it's kind of like throwing out the baby with a bathwater, excuse the pun. The vaccine's been really targeted and taken a lot of unnecessary hits. A lot of studies have been done. I believe it's safe during pregnancy, but the real issue here is what was Tony saying, and why wasn't he letting the public in on this? Probably he was being very protective, like, oh, I don't want the public to know because how are they going to react? Well. Public reacts a lot better to truth and inclusion than the idea of being kept out in things. And so that's the biggest problem. And that applied to COVID origins too. We are listening to Dr. Mark Siegel. That's why I believe the American people trust you so much. They trusted you during the pandemic. And they trust you now. I did not predetermine what I thought your answer would be. On the broad answer, I totally agree. In the narrow point. of the first trimester, since in his text messages, he was questioning whether you could have an abortion because of the vaccine in the first trimester. I thought all, as I read that now, you know, 2020 hindsight, of course. When I read that now, that's, I think, something that all women who were pregnant in their first trimester should have been very clear on. Exactly. And that's where your OB comes in. And that thinking is changing and it has changed over time. But what was also going on at the same time was the vaccine was becoming less effective as the virus mutated. So that was a factor. How much protection am I getting against this? How much is the risk of COVID itself? How much is the protection of the vaccine? And what is the risk of the vaccine? That's the exact assessment we always do. And that's what needs to be open and transparent and involve doctors, patients. And yeah, even the government. So we listen, Dr. Siegel, to all this goings on now that we know about this diary, that he was silly enough to do it on on a government server. So there it is. They got it all. And in there, he said different things to his diary than when he got out. before the television cameras and would speak to the American people. That's another area where he just didn't shoot straight with us, Dr. Siegel. Harry, he didn't always say the same thing on different days. He said to me on the radio that the school should remain open in the summer of 2020. They should open. But then he said to other people, they shouldn't open. You know, he played to different audiences, and that's where he got too enamored with being in the media. I mean, one of the things you just praised me on, I hope it's true, is that even though I'm all over the media, I try to stick to the truth. What I see the truth does, based on what information I have. Yeah, you've earned that. You do. That's not an opinion. I've seen it, and so have all of your viewers on the Fox News Channel.

Dr. Mark Siegel visiting on Guy Benson. I want to know what the great Dr. Mark Siegel thought of President Trump. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.., the signing of the executive order relative to vaccines for those that haven't had a chance to catch up with yesterday's news and into today, giving parents more flexibility with their health care providers in spacing vaccines, perhaps more than we've done in the past. What do you think of the executive order? What do you think of the approach? Okay, so here again, you're not going to be able to predict my response. I've been talking lately to the top vaccine confidence people in the world, and they've surprised me too. I said, I've said repeatedly, we need to get back to thinking about community immunity. How do we protect others, not just ourselves? Everybody I talk to says, I'm wrong, Harry. They say that everybody wants to know how to protect their child, not how to protect everyone else. And you have to go one-on-one, mono-mono. You have to go one-on-one with the information. And you've got to say to them, here's what the trial, what we're suggesting for best protecting your trials. Here's the risk of the vaccine. Here's the risk of the virus. And clearly with measles, it's a no-brainer. We need this vaccine. Okay. And then the question is, where's moms, how much mumps is there around? Rebella can be pretty awful. So, you know, those, I'm talking about the MMR vaccine. I think that the idea of spacing out vaccines is legitimate. And I thought that the president was very convincing yesterday when he talked about how his own children he spaced out the vaccines. I'm getting that more and more now, where parents say to me, can I wait a month? And if I feel they're responsible, of course, I'll encourage them to have that conversation with the pediatrician and come up with a plan. The concern I have, though, If you talk about the MMR vaccine, I do have a concern about some things that were said yesterday. The MMR vaccine has been studied for 50 years, and there was a 650,000 person study that did not show an increased risk of autism. I agree with the president that this risk of autism is getting out of control. It's gone up and up and up. I agree with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that it's probably something in the environment that's precipitating it in addition to genetic factors and fathers that have children to lay. All of this I agree with, but I would target the issue of what women are exposed to in the womb because a lot of the neuro-radiology now is showing changes very, very early. And I think it's a mistake dependent automatically on vaccines because that's playing a fear card. That's like saying, well, you stuck a needle in your arm. You know, now what? Now what's going to happen? I think there's been a lot of studies on that.

I wouldn't say it's off the table, but I'm more interested in earlier on. What is the environmental exposure in the womb? We've got pesticides out there, Harry. We've got a lot of stuff to look at, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is well aware of that. I'm friendly with him, and I think he's a brilliant guy, but I wouldn't make the direct connection to this extent between vaccines and autism. That's been studied and studied, and I think it's a little late. in terms of what's causing autism. I think it occurs earlier. Final minute with Dr. Mark Siegel, let's touch on autism because I saw you present on this study that's linking first-born children to autism. Your thoughts? I think it might have something to do with what I said on that on TV the other day, which is maybe it's the womb. The womb's not used to seeing a kid yet. So there's stuff going on with a first child that's not with a second, you know, that might lead to a different outcome. I'm focused on what are the exposures in the womb. And then we have a term in medicine called nolliparous, meaning the woman has never had a child before. That's an actual designation. Well, what is a noliparous woman exposed to that might make the risk higher for the firstborn child, especially a boy? I think that's to be looked at. Again, more neuroimaging, more genetics, more environmental exposures, more concern about toxins. All of that needs to be on the table here. Very important content. Dr. Siegel, great to visit with you. Harry, great to be with you. Thank you so much. Talk to you again. That is Dr. Mark Siegel. We'll be back. This is Guy Benson. Filling in for Guy Benson, it's Harry Hurley.

Welcome back to Guy Benson with Christine Dillon and Joelle. I'm Harry Curley filling it today for Guy Benson. Very important issue because it is literally just the difference, 180 degrees difference between the immediate past administration and President Trump back in office for the past more than two years. People aren't getting in. The borders are tight, buttoned down. They were leaking and wide open. And we don't even know. Everything from Godaways to countless. People believe millions, how many, tens of millions even, we don't know of undocumented folks that just came into the country. And then the Democrats knew. And the people that were running the show for President Biden knew it would be very, very hard. How do you round? Would you round up millions of people? So you do the best that you can do. And what they've been able to do over the first couple of years, just to give you an idea of how difficult the job is, it's easy for millions of people to come in. It's very, very hard to find the ones that have absolutely no business being here because they're either dangerous or maybe they're on other violations, revoked, you know, visa status and things like that. So more than 175,000 visas. which were held by foreign nationals, have been revoked since President Trump returned to office for his second non-consecutive term. What they looked at was criminal activity, visa violations, fraud, violence against Americans, threats to our national security. As President Trump often says, you know, to begin. You basically have to begin at the beginning, and you have to begin with the worst of the worst. You know, these people that say that just honest people are being scooped up and all that, that's not how it's happening. I mean, they're going after people that have warrants. They're going after people that are suspected to have done very, very bad things. So when you look at most of the revocations, and this is a good thing. I know that the Democrat loyal opposition tries to make this look heartless. And don't forget, they defend anyone who's here because to them, anyone who is a potential Democrat voter. That's how they look at it. They don't look at it that that could be someone who would rape someone's child or murder someone or violently attack or rob or any number of things. Many of the cases, involve assault, driving under the influence, theft, drug-related offenses, in addition, sexual assault, child abuse, embezzlement, fraud, you name it. I mean, these wouldn't you want, to all to all Guy Benson listeners, Republicans, Democrats, independents, unaffiliated, wouldn't you want that?

You know, how did we change to where you have to be against everything that President Trump does? It just automatically has to be wrong. And you have to defend, like when the senator went to visit and had beverage with a not so good guy, a bad guy, but they referred to him as coach. or Maryland man, anything about him that they could just right away erase any of the reasons that he shouldn't have been here in the first place. That's another thing that are Democrats in this very strange, bizarre old era that we're living through. They are for any criminal. over their president. They trust Iran more than their president. You could have a case where someone is committed awful violent crimes and they will support that that person should be let up. Remember, they didn't want prisons. They would no cash bail. You get. The paperwork done, processed, and they're bailing them out. They were raising money to bail them out. Violent people that were assaulting police officers and ICE law enforcement officers. So there's a lot here. And visa revocations is tough stuff. It's not easy. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who I think has just done a phenomenal job. He has been, if there is such a thing, he has been just about a perfect public servant, loyal to his president, loyal to his country, doing the right things, saying the right things. And he'll be the first one to tell you. You know, someone with a visa. That's a privilege. There's no constitutional right for this. We decide and how we used to decide with legal immigration, we would know who's coming in. They would be coming in because they wanted to assimilate and become an American. They would keep their culture of the country they came from, but they wouldn't come here and try to change America. They would come here for the opportunity that is afforded that's not available anywhere else in the world. And legal immigration is a beautiful thing. Illegal immigration is a nightmare and it's a disaster. And you can tell there will never be a president in our lifetime that will be more aggressive. on the issue of illegals in our country than President Trump. And in two years, they have revoked 175,000 visas. That ought to tell you that this is a heavy lift and this is tough stuff. Secretary of State former Senator Marco Rubio has determined that a lot of foreign nationals, in fact, are deportable.

And they're deportable on foreign policy grounds. And they're on firm ground. Now, I know and you know the Democrats would find a Democrat judge. Just face it, that's what we have now. It's a shame. It shouldn't be that way. But we have Democrat judges. And they decide against Trump, whether it's building a ballroom or anything else. Oh, it's a busy newsday much as we continue Guy Benson.

The Congresswoman is a member of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, where she sits on the subcommittee on health. and the Subcommittee's on the Environment and Energy, and also a member of the House Committee on Veterans Affairs, where she serves as chairwoman of the Subcommittee on Health. Congresswoman Miller Meeks, welcome. Thank you so much, and thanks for having me on your program. Oh, it is a pleasure. Now, this is our first time meeting, but I have covered you so often because it feels like yesterday, but I'm sure to you, maybe it feels like 10 lifetimes ago, where in 2020, you know, anybody out there that says, oh, every vote must count, every vote counts, you know. Your certified election was six votes. Wow. Six votes. Every, every vote counts. That is not an understatement. It is a reality. And thank goodness, Iowa has passed the voter integrity and voter election laws that we have, of which I was a part as a state senator. Otherwise, that six votes may not have held because Nancy Pelosi was trying to take the election away from the voters of Iowa and have Congress decide who the winner was. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, which would have been crazy to say, hey, voters, you don't count. We're going to let these other people that are going to vote for the one that got less votes to become the member of Congress. So yeah, that would have been just an atrocity for that to have taken place. So it was terrific. Who knows? I mean, you know, in today's environment, you know, any type of close election, the other side, your Democrat colleagues, they do everything possible. Now, you have something also that's very. unusual. I don't know how many times if maybe this is another first for you because your election was the closest election of 2020, you are now running against Christina Bohannon for the third time, correct?

That is correct. So we won by seven percentage points in 22, largely because Governor Reynolds was on the ballot, and she was very popular. And interestingly enough, in that election, the state auditor candidate, who is now the Democrat candidate for governor, won by three percentage points in that district. And then in 24, we were outspent by $6 million in a $27 million race, and we won... by 798 votes. So it's always a tough district for Republicans. We had flipped the district in 2020, as you said, by six votes after all of the recounts, after the Democrats refused to go to the Iowa courts and took it to Congress. And we upheld that election win, third closest race in history. So every single vote matters. And this election, everybody needs to get out and vote because the consequences are. are significant, especially when you look at who's winning Democrat primaries. They're socialist and communists. There's no exaggeration there at all. You are listening to Congresswoman Marionette Miller Meeks from Iowa, from the first district of Iowa. And what is it like? I'm not going to belabor the point, but I think it would be something interesting for Guy Benson listeners. What is it like to run against the same person three times? Well, first and foremost, no matter what polling says or doesn't say, I run like I'm behind. I run like I'm two to four points behind. It doesn't matter if I've run against the same candidate or not. They're a new candidate, a new person, and you have to put every single bit of energy into making sure you're out meeting with voters, you're door knocking, you're attending public events, you are raising the money, especially given that they outspend us by $6 million last time. I knew in January of 2025 with all of the people that would be on the ballot in Iowa, the governor, the senator, all of the executive branch that we would have to raise money early because the Democrats just pour tons of money into districts trying to buy races. And so I work like I'm four points behind. So I'm in the district. I'm meeting with people. I look at passing laws. I still have the same cell phone number and email. I answer text, I answer meetings. I try to meet with as many Iowans as possible when they come to Washington, D.C. And then the things that are important to our district, we work hard for. We were tireless in our efforts to get year-round E-15 through the House, and that passed on a bipartisan vote. We strengthened and preserved Medicaid for individuals, put in work requirements, and also... you know, prohibited illegal immigrants from being on. We've been tackling the fraud in Medicaid or other government programs, but also the fraud that's in other parts of government, not just in Medicaid. So whether it's to stop insider trading members of Congress, whether it's real or perceived, the fact is there is information that happens around the halls of Congress that ordinary people don't have access to, at least not at that exact moment. And so we're going to continue to work hard. We're going to outwork everyone. I always say that I'm a workhorse, not a show horse. I love that. But that's what it takes. You have to run like you're behind. You have to treat every opponent as they're new and make sure that you're uncovering any research. And we have continued to uncover things about our opponent that put her soul, you know, put her in that camp of socialist, communist.

who want to defund the police, abolish border, abolish ICE, abolish orders for sanctuary cities, you know, boys and girl sports. She, you know, she has embarrassed by her country, even before, you know, socialists got elected in Democrat Party politics. And in primaries, she was already saying that it was controversial to be patriotic and that, you know, we were backwards in the state of Iowa. Why? Because the majority of people in Iowa didn't agree with what she and other socialists agreed with. So incredibly radical. United States Congresswoman Marionette Miller Meeks of the first district of Iowa, who is going for her fourth term. And she has shown. grit, determination, and an ability to win in what has been called a swing district. And in your one of the three races, you did win by 20-some thousand. I guess it was like... almost 21,000, and then you had the one squeaker and one that was close, but comfortable, but close. And now here you go again. And you're running against someone you described very accurately, very well. And I would like you, if you don't mind, Congresswoman, explain your opponent who voted for a pledge of allegiance bill. But not because she loves her country and it's patriotic and what we all do with conviction. She did it out of political survival. That is crazy to me. Explain. Well, absolutely. I served 24 years in the military. I came from a military family, enlisted when I was 18, spent two years enlisted, then became an officer when I got my degree in nursing. 24 years in the military, proud to have served. Married a gentleman who I met at Walter Reed, who spent 30 years in the military, proud to have served. And this is an individual for just, you know, political survival. reasons after already saying that it was patriotism was controversial there's nothing controversial about loving your country there's nothing controversial to say that we are you know we have a declaration of independence and constitution in order to form a more perfect union we are imperfect we are humans but we are continuing to be refined And we cannot let the history of the past judge people of today because we too are going to be judged in the future. And we may not be found so virtuous or so perfect. But to be, I am not embarrassed by my country. So as I said, even before socialist and communist got elected.

and chosen in Democrat primaries. This is a person who was already hedging her bets whether or not you could be patriotic, whether or not our state, which has advanced in so many ways, was backwards and ashamed of her country and the state that she wants to represent, the people that she wants to represent. So I meet with people on both sides of the aisle. If you're from Iowa and from my district, I will meet with you. I try to be respectful. I will say that I do remind people if they're not on time, that they're not on time. But other than that, this is an individual that is as far left and as radical as they come, and she will pretend that she is moderate and that she's... You know, just pragmatic, just wanting to serve the people of Iowa. But she is anything but that. She's hiding in the basement like Joe Biden did and trying not to say anything because she had, you know, another further left person that was running against her in a primary with no money. And she won her primary, but didn't have a serious primary, but didn't want to be caught saying something for which she'd agreed. She never... You know, she never said anything about Hamas invading Israel. She never said anything about the college Republicans at the University of Iowa, or excuse me, the Democrat, college Democrats in the University of Iowa. when they were condemning Israel and their anti-Semitic remarks, this person is a far-left radical who is going to pretend to be anything that they think can get elected. But they will rule and they will vote like all the far-left radicals and along with the progressives and the progressive left and the radical Democrat Socialists. Yeah, trying to sneak her way in. Meanwhile, you are being honest. You have shown your district, your heart. You've shown them your mind. And I was remiss. I should have mentioned your military service. I am familiar with it. And you rose from the rank of private. to Lieutenant Colonel by the time you were done after 24 years of military service. Quite, quite a record, and that is an amazing rank for those in Guy Benson universe. When you make it to Lieutenant Colonel, that is a really, really big deal. Now, I want to... put maybe even a sharper point on your opponent with this pledge of allegiance bill in schools where she was caught. She voted for it. She voted yay out of political survival because the deal was with Democrats in swing districts. You would risk.

not being able to win if you voted no. So she didn't even do it, not nearly for the right reason, totally politically strategic. Yeah. Terrible. Terrible. Which is why you don't see much of her now, and she doesn't comment much, is because she doesn't want her party to pull her to the left. So she doesn't condemn the socialist that won primaries, and she's not honest about where she is and who she would stand with, were she elected to Congress. But I'm going to make sure she doesn't get elected to Congress for exactly those reasons. You know, I'm as my military service, I salute the flag, I raise the flag, I'll be buried under the flag. My patriotism is unquestionable. In her case, it was so that she wouldn't risk a political seat. And we saw a recent AP Norick poll that showed that six in ten Democrats and independents say they never fly the American flag. So the independence must have been Democrat-leaning independents. What's that all about? And her political vote, to your point, she knew she was going to be running for Congress and not running for re-election as a member of the House in a strongly Democrat district. She knew she was going to run for Congress, and that was why she voted the way she did. But then she also voted on things that very few Democrats in the State House voted for. I mean, she voted to raise taxes on senior citizens because in Iowa, we voted not to tax retirement pensions. So she voted to raise their taxes. But yet she'll say that she's going to lower taxes and make cost of living more affordable. If you raise taxes, you're not making the cost of living more affordable for those working. You know, she voted for sex change surgery, including to be paid for by Medicaid, by taxpayer dollars, including in prisoners. She supported boys continuing to play in girls' sports and be in girls' locker rooms. The majority of people in Iowa are against that. They are not in favor of that. She didn't vote in support of law enforcement, and she asked people to contribute money to organizations that wanted to defund the police, to abolish prisons, to abolish ICE in its four sanctuary cities. And again, the majority of Iowans are not for that. Now, Iowans know that she's running for the third time. You've beaten her like a drum twice. So do they know her or do you think this Biden in the basement strategy of not showing herself that she's effectively pulling a rewrite off? What are your thoughts about that?

I think that the Democrats think that they will pull off a rewrite, but it's up to us to remind people of exactly who she is. And we will do that. We will expose her record once again. We will make sure we know that people know how she voted in the state house when she was in the state house. It's not just our words. These are her words. These are her votes. These are her actions. And I have a little plaque in my house that says, you preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips. You just have to look at her life to know what it is that she stands for and what she would stand for were she a member of Congress. And my job is to make sure that never happens because for a young kid in a family of eight. But the dad who has enlisted Air Force and a mom with a GED both working, and that kid, the fourth, to leave home at 16, get a job, start community college, enlisted 18, get a degree in nursing, a master's in education, and ultimately get to medical school, which was why they left home at 16, financially independent from very humble circumstances. That American dream should be open to every kid. And it is not if we have... socialist and communist elected to this country who don't want police, who don't want prisons, who more importantly want to own the means of production, don't want entrepreneurship, and they don't want private property. Your resume and your life story is just impressive. We've been visiting with Congresswoman Marionette Miller Meeks from Iowa's first district running for re-election first Tuesday in November. Great to visit with you. Be well. Take good care. Thank you so much, and thanks for having me on the show. It was a pleasure. Very, very impressive background. We'll be right back. This is Guy Benson. It's Harry Hurley.

Welcome back to Guy Benson with Christine Dillon and Joel. I'm Harry Hurley filling in today for Guy Benson on a busy news day. Senator Tim Scott, I think he is on to something because with what the Democrats have been doing, electing these DSA candidates, even though, for example, Abdul El-Sayed is saying he's not DSA, he's not a socialist, that he is a capitalist, just look. at his record, look at the things that he has said. And Tim Scott, Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, talked about how Al-Syad winning the Democrat nomination makes the midterms easier for the Republican Party. Joel, cut six. What we know for certain is Abdul El-Sayed. As making Abdul El-Sayed is making it easier. Why? Because he is inconsistent with mission gandiners of either side of the aisle, by the way. Someone who wants to defund police, defund ICE, who wants to abolish our concept of a border. He's just wrong for Michigan. He continues. Cut seven. It's about what he stands for. And we're going to focus and bring attention to the fact that not only is he sympathetic for Hamas, not only does he run around with Hasan Piker or someone who said that Americans deserve 9-11, he should be held account for exactly where he stands and what he's for. That's United States Senator Tim Scott on Abdul El-Sayed in a recent CNN interview. We'll be right back. Don't go away. It is the Goddance show.

Guy Benson, here's Harry Hurley. Welcome back to Guy Benson with Christine Dylan and Joel. Harry Hurley filling in today for Guy. Earlier in the program, we spoke with former Wisconsin two-term governor, Scott Walker. Here's a part of our interview. You wrote on your social media, crossing over to vote for Francesca Hong is a big risk because she would be very all caps, very dangerous if she was governor. I teed it up. Take it away. Yeah, this is not just common sense versus crazy. This is common sense versus dangerously crazy. This is someone who not once, not as a kid, but as an elected official, repeatedly called for abolishing the police, getting rid of prisons or violent criminals, getting rid of the system of taking violent criminals out of the country that are here illegally. This is someone who would be dangerous as governor. I think she's going to win today, unfortunately, in the primary. But I don't want her anywhere close to even have the outside chance of winning this governor's race. Because if she wins today, it will still be a close election because Wisconsin's the closest swing state in America. So on point. And you won twice and you barely lost. You couldn't almost lose closer than you lost to the current governor, Tony Evers. He can't endorse her. She's that bad. Yeah, he actually said she can't win, and I think it just shows how out of touch. But they, too little, too late, they've completely messed this up. They got behind David Crowley, the current Milwaukee County executive, someone who has his own problems, although he's not dangerously crazy. He just would dramatically jack up your taxes, isn't competent, and comes from Milwaukee where there are all sorts of problems. But that said, you look at these Democratic socialists. We've been warning about this for years on college campuses. You know, they make all these wild promises in an era where people aren't learning anything about American and world history. Look at Venezuela. It's not just Cuba in the past or the old Soviet Union. Today, as we speak, one of the once most prosperous nations in the world, Venezuela, is an absolute wreck in the economy so much so. It's one of the largest refugee crises in the world because democratic socialism ruined the country. We can't let that happen in Wisconsin or anywhere else in America. That's an example I use all the time. Venezuela went from third or fourth, most prosperous in the hemisphere to in the dark and eating the zoo. It's no joke. That's socialism. And it's 100% track record of failure. The pressure is going to be on. I'm with you. She's going to win. It's a perfect storm. This whole socialist craziness taking over the Democrat Party is part of it. The lieutenant governor.

had to get out. The former lieutenant governor had to get out. David Crowley was in, then he's out. Evers asked him to get back in. So he's in. So she's almost winning this by default. But the pressure now is on Tom Tiffany. Tell us a little bit about him. Is he up for this? Is he going to do it? Is he going to win? Yeah, it's nice they've been running. I'm in Boyd today. I was talking some folks here. Having the distinction of not having a primary, while these parade of, you know, cast of crazier than the other folks on the other side have been beating each other up really has allowed him to focus on a general election campaign, raising the resources, being organized, and most importantly, having the right message message message, man, or money. And he's been talking about cost of living. That's a big deal for everybody. It's particularly big deal for young people. He's talking about the cost of buying a home, talking about driving property taxes down, talking about reforming the schools. He's got the right message right now, and he's highly, highly organized. In the end, though, again, it's the closest blue state in America. I won two elections and a recall election. When I won with 52, almost 53% of the vote, that was considered a blow. In most elections, it's about one point or less difference. And I think there's, sadly... And the suburbs of Milwaukee, there's just enough TDS that we can't take this race for granted, even if a Democratic socialist wins the primary. That is amazing to hear. It is former Wisconsin governor, Scott Walker, visiting on Guy Benson. Hong wins tonight. Tiffany wins tonight. I don't think there's any doubt about both of them. Do you hold any hope that, much like El-Sayed in Michigan was not winning by 10 and a half points, not winning by 15 points in another poll, and it barely won, that she has gotten a lot of bad publicity, even from friendly... Democrat legacy media people hitting her on that she said Thanksgiving, should have been, you know, ended in 1621. Now, of course, it is her favorite holiday. Governor Walker, you know that, right? It's now her favorite holiday. Yeah. I actually think it will a little bit, even more so, the general, because part of her appeal was that she was authentic, even though authentically wrong. radical ideas, but they were her ideas. They were ideas she was passionate about with her going from I want to cancel Thanksgiving to I cook on Thanksgiving, but some people are uneasy with it. Now it's my favorite. Next week, she's wearing a Thanksgiving outfit, the campaigned in. I think people just say, wait a minute, this is somebody who seems like they're going to say anything to get elected. I don't know that's that as much as I just think she's been, you know, being a liberal in a liberal city, she's never had to deal with any tough questions. She's starting to fall apart.

But, like I said, it's going to be a close election, a close state. I think for swing voters, though, more than the base being uneasy, I think in the end, the 10% you need to win among swing voters in a state like Wisconsin is tone. They didn't like Donald Trump's tone in 2020 more so than his policies. Similarly, I think with her, I'd put up if I was the Tiffany campaign one after, ad after another, showing her with the F bomb on this, F bomb on that. versus Tom Tiffany, who's kind of easygoing, steady eddy. I think that's a huge advantage for him come to general election with voters who can go either way. That was part of our interview with former Wisconsin governor, Scott Walker, for the full interview. Go to Guy Benson.com. Coming up next, it's the home stretch. Welcome to New York City, Dylan. Back more with Guy Benson. Filling in for Guy Benson, it's Harry Hurley.

Now it's time for your favorite segment of the day. Home Stretch. It's basically the only segment I'm on. So I've declared it the audience's favorite segment. Guy Benson. Welcome back to Guy Benson. Happy hour. The home stretch. All about Dylan with Christine, Dylan and Joelle. I'm Harry Hurley filling in today for Guy. I love the topic. Welcome to New York City. Dylan. Of course you get the first comment. Welcome. Thank you, Harry. It feels good to be here. I mean, we just, we got, Christine met me at Penn Station this morning and I got the whole, the whole walk through the city, had New York pizza for lunch. I mean, I did a little stroll around Times Square. So Spider-Man. harassing a 15-year-old girl, which wasn't so pleasant. I already said I was sorry about that. Yeah. I mean, I might have encountered Jimmy Fela in the bathroom, and we talked about it, and he said that it's nothing you wouldn't find it on his search history. He's so funny. God, Jimmy. That is so good. Such a Jimmy. So, Dylan, you've done the work for three years, but it's the first time that you've been in the New York City studios, which, by the way, are beautiful. It's a beautiful building. Impressive, actually. How does it feel? How is it different being there versus doing the job for three years, but doing it remotely? It's so different. I mean, down in Washington, D.C., like, literally our studio in D.C. is probably half the size of the studios up here in New York. I mean, not to mention, you know, all the managers and upper management people that are out here in New York. So it is completely different. Like, in D.C., I'll literally sit in a studio. Like, I come in and I sit in the studio by myself all day until I... talk to you know christine and joel and guy or you or whoever's filling in but i'm i'm usually writing solo down there so it vibe is completely different i can imagine that and and especially when you do something for a number of years before you ever see it in person the other thing i was thinking about and I think it would be just great to hear doing what you felt. When you actually met people that you know so well and you know what they look like because you've done Zoom and FaceTime chats and things like that with the whole team many times, countless times. But there is a difference. A video is not the same as human contact. What was it like? It's completely different. And honestly, a lot of the people that I know well here at Fox, I mean, doing radio, a lot of times I only know their voice, you know? So, like, I don't, I don't even know everybody's faces. So it was very interesting meeting some of the engineers and guys here and being able to put a...

I don't know, a face to the voice. Some people look completely different than I pictured them, like looking. I don't know. You have this kind of like mind's eye picture of what you think people will look like. And I struck out on a lot. People looked a lot different than I thought they would. But it's different, like shaking people's hands and seeing them here in person. It is like, it's night and day. It feels so much more personal, you know, being here. Christine, what is it like having Dylan in studio? Oh, my gosh. It's been so much fun. Like I said, we've been working together for so long. But let me just paint a little picture in D.C. for you, Harry. It is very quiet down there. And it's very serious down there. So the vibe is a little different. I remember one of the first times I ever went there. I walk in, you know, typical Christine. I'm like, hey, everybody. how's it going? And I'm trying to talk to the staff of Special Report. And I saw one of them had Chick-Fillai and I walked over. I'm like, hey, where can I get some chick-fly? And everybody looked at me. It is so different. Why are you talking? What is this? I'm hearing someone speak. It's so different. We don't do this here. And meanwhile, you should see me barreling down the hallway here in New York, right, Joelle? Usually I'm just loud as can be. Oh, yeah. Everybody knows I'm here. So I'm happy that Dylan got the chance to come up here. It's always so nice. And hopefully, I think we're going to take him out to a little bar out. I mean, Harry, I don't normally... You know, go to bars and I don't normally like to drink. On a weeknight unheard of. You're making an exception. Not all heroes wear capes, Harry. That's right. Absolutely. Some wear hot dog suits. Oh. Oh. Well done. You're a hero. Well done. That's true. And she wears a costume. Yes. Right. Hero. Superhero with superpowers. Joel. How was it meeting Dylan? It was amazing. So I've actually known Dylan for a few years because before landing this job as Guy Benson's engineer, I worked for our network operations center. So whenever we had podcast recordings and we needed someone in D.C. to help set up the studios there, I would reach out to Dylan. And we had some. friendly correspondents throughout the year. So seeing him in person is an even better experience. I always prefer the face-to-face contact versus messaging, text, phone calls, et cetera, et cetera. So it's awesome seeing Dylan here and it's very different. The other thing, Christine, that I think is different, and we've all experienced this because of technology, you know, of the last decade in particular, you can get to know someone very, very well that you haven't met in person. But when you meet that person in person, it's not like meeting a stranger that you meet for the first time. It's very, very familiar. But it is still a different experience, though, right, Christine?

Oh, 100%. But you might be talking to the wrong person. I mean, I literally went out to dinner. Thursday night with somebody that I met on a plane in March. A stranger. Get to meet people fast. I do. I do. She's become a very good friend of mine. I just met her. But, no, it's always so good. So we are so happy, but we are so excited for you. I know, Dylan, you've got a long journey ahead of you. You are a young. A youngan. So, Dylan, do you have any... Would you like any life advice from me or Harry? Probably from Harry. I was going to say I'll take some, I'll take, I'll hear what you have to offer me and then of course I'll need a follow up from Harry. Oh, for me? Okay. You asked for it. Now you're surprised. I didn't think you were to say me. Um. Life advice, I would say, looking back now, and this is actually true, Harry, looking back now, I wish I did not stress over the small things. There you go. That I truly believed mattered, and now they don't. And I really mean this when I say it's the truth. The youth is wasted on the young. Because, boy, I wish I... I just wish I just relaxed a little more, enjoyed life a little more, but like was smart about it. Career advice. I mean, I always say I'll give you the best booking advice. No is just a starting off point. That's true. That is. No is just the beginning. That's how I know how to book now. I mean, we're both. What do they call you? Persistent? They say you're a persistent Cory Booker? Yeah, Harry, in my review, not this past year or the year before, it said she is a persistent Cory Booker. That's a compliment. I hope so. Oh, it is. That is a compliment. Here is my crackerjack advice. At a personal level, it's effortless because you're going home. You have support. You know people. You have family. So you're going to an area that you're not a stranger. If you were going to an area that you're a stranger, because I did that a long time ago, where literally an envelope was taped on a door and it was my key. to where I would be staying that night. Nobody was there. I had left my family behind for a few months, and it was scary, actually, because it was like, whoa, it's dark at night. There's an envelope that had my name on it. That's it. I had to make my way. So if you were going to be a stranger, I would talk a little bit about that type of stuff, stranger danger, which isn't really danger. And you get past that very, very quickly, by the way.

But on a work note, are you working with people that you have worked with before? I need to know that. I am starting fresh. It is staying in the podcasting type realm, but fresh set of coworkers. Good. I knew the work you were going to be doing because we had a chance to speak about it, but I didn't know if they knew you. So here's my advice there. And it's going to sound John Cornyn. But. Get off to a great start because the expression, you don't get a second chance to make a good first impression. Make a great first impression because you are so talented. You have such capabilities. Thank you. Get off to a great start. And then it really is smooth sailing from there because... Then the people you're working with, both, and I know you're also very good at managing up and also managing down, they're all going to know that Dylan is a superstar. So get off to a great start. Well, thank you. I'm going to do my best. I can't be anything other than what I am, you know. So just trying to. Be myself and be out there. I mean, of course, when I started here, I had cookie to coach me up. So I'm starting a lot. Many people are saying, many people are saying that she was my mentor. But, you know, now I get to be somebody else's mentor. That makes you mentee. That's right. I'll be a mentee and a future mentor. So I'm excited. It's new beginnings, but it's going to be good. We have to wrap, but one last little compliment I want to give you, Dylan. Also, I believe in what I call the likability quotient, and you got extra helpings when you were in line. Thank you. You are really likable. Thank you. You have talent and you're likable. You can't miss. You've got me cheeszen in studio here, Harry. And I'm going to miss you. This is, tomorrow will be the last time. I know. I know. We'll make it special. Yes, indeed. On behalf of Team Christine. I'm Harry Hurley filling in for Guy Benson. This is Guy Benson. Thanks for listening. Welcome to New York City, Dylan.

Hi, Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile. Are you looking for a beach read this summer? May I suggest your big wireless bill? It's got suspense, mystery, a slightly flat, emotional arc, and a shocking twist where you realize you've been overpaying the entire time. Fortunately, though, Mint's story is better. Every plan, $15 a month. Even unlimited. That's it. Happy ending. Zero tiers. Give it a try at mintmobile.com slash switch. Upround payment of $45 for three months, $90 for six months, or $180 for 12-month plan required $15 per month equivalent to taxes and fees extra. Initial plan term only greater than 50 gigabytes, new slow and network is busy. See terms.
